HARVEST: Contemporary Craft Fair
Craft Scotland is delighted to present HARVEST: Contemporary Craft Fair, our new living showroom and multi-disciplinary selling exhibition, coming to the City Art Centre from 11th to 19th October.
About HARVEST: Contemporary Craft Fair
This October, encounter the richness of Scottish contemporary craft and explore a curated selection of work by 80 makers from across Scotland.
Presented by Craft Scotland, HARVEST: Contemporary Craft Fair will be a spectacular nine-day event at Edinburgh’s City Art Centre from Saturday 11 – Sunday 19 October 2025. This ambitious showroom and multi-disciplinary selling exhibition offers a rare opportunity to see and purchase a vibrant cross-section of contemporary craft being made in Scotland today.
From contemporary furniture to fine jewellery and ceramics, discover limited-edition pieces from leading independent makers and studios. Find woven cushions and quilted textiles alongside contemporary basketry, glass serving ware, specially created lighting for interiors and handmade rugs, all of which will be available to buy.
Just steps from Waverley Station, the Fair reimagines the traditional craft fair model through a dynamic interweaving of showrooms, exhibition and retail spaces. It is complemented by a rich programme of craft workshops and events designed to bring people together, be inspired and experience the joy of making.
